What's it all about?
Aside from getting lots of great critiques done for Review Day, the Checklist Challenge is all about pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and critiquing works that you usually shy away from. It's as much a challenge to yourself as a competition against anyone else!
Why should I take part?
To broaden your critiquing skills, to help all our wonderful authors, and for fun! Plus, if that's not enough of an incentive, I'll be offering 2000 points to the person who completes the most items from the list, 1000 points for the person who completes the second-most, and 500 points for the person who completes the third-most. I'm also offering 5 reviews to anybody who manages to complete all of the items on the list!
What are the rules?
- The challenge will start and finish to coincide with Review Day (25th March 2018).
- You can only tick items off the checklist by doing a review on Review Day. Old reviews can't be used to check items off.
- A single review can be used to check off multiple items (e.g. the 11th chapter of a fantasy novel would check off three categories).
- You can review non-Green Room works to check off items, but try to keep in the spirit of Review Day by helping authors that still need feedback!
How do I enter?
To be in with a chance of a prize, copy and paste the code (enspoilered below) into this thread. For each checklist item you completed, post a link to the review you did to check it off. If you didn't complete that item, leave the category blank.
You can do this at any time during the week following Review Day, so don't worry about putting the list together on the day!

Note: in the case of reviewing works in the Green Room and ones with zero reviews, the work must have been in the Green Room/had zero reviews at the time you published your review. If someone beats you to it, I'm afraid it can't count towards the list.
And that's about it! By all means, use this thread to ask any questions or to state your intention to take part. Go forth and take up the challenge!
